SHILLONG:    The Mawsynram Civil Sub-Division Demand Committee (MCSDDC) has decided to aggressively push for fulfillment of their demand.

The Committee held a meeting here on Thursday to discuss about the long pending   demand for Mawsynram Civil Sub-Division

Local MLA  HM Shangpliang  after the meeting told reporters that they had decided to draft a memorandum  on the matter after a threadbare discussion on the modalities to move ahead in placing the demand before the state government.”

He said that on approval of the draft memorandum, the committee would immediately seek an appointment with the Chief minister Conrad Sangma for requesting the government for creation of the Mawsynram Civil Sub-Division.

Responding to a query, Shangpliang said that the creation of Mawsynram Civil Sub-Division was a long pending demand for the past 20 years which is yet to be considered by the government till date.

 

“The demand is purely based on merit (and not necessarily because Ranikor is being given a civil sub-division). Moreover another important factor is road and presently people are facing hardship due to poor connectivity,” he said.

Stating that as per survey report, there are 22 government establishments already in place in the constituency besides various educational institutions, he said the constituency was having 175 villages with a population of approximately one lakh which include 31,000 eligible voters.

Reacting to another query, the Mawsynram MLA said that the Committee has no intention to serve any ultimatum to the state government in this regard.

When ask if he would consider resigning as a member of the legislative assembly, Shangpliang said that the demand for a civil sub-division was not for any political gain but it is for the welfare and benefit of the people of the constituency.
